What is Niobium?
Niobium, also known as columbium, is a chemical element with the symbol Nb and atomic number 41. Niobium is a light grey, crystalline, and ductile transition metal. Pure niobium has a Mohs hardness rating similar to that of pure titanium, and it has similar ductility to iron. Niobium oxidizes in the earth’s atmosphere very slowly, hence its application in jewelry as a hypoallergenic alternative to nickel. Niobium is a rare, soft, malleable, ductile, gray-white metal. Niobium exhibits similar but slightly lower resistance against chemicals corrosive to tantalum. It must be placed in a protective atmosphere when processed at even moderate temperatures because it tends to react with oxygen, carbon, the halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur. The metal is inert to acids, even to aqua regia at room temperatures, but is attacked by hot, concentrated acids, and especially by alkalis and oxidizing agents. However, 90% of its total demand arises from the production of high-strength low-alloy steels, whereas rolled niobium–based products account for 4% and superalloys and compounds (oxides and chemicals) account for 3% each.
Manufacturing Process of Niobium Pipe, Tube, Tubing
Niobium tubes are manufactured by electron beam melting technology, including seamless niobium tube and welding niobium tube. First, melt the not forging niobium bar into niobium ingot by vacuum electron beam melting technology. There are two ways of smelting – single smelting and multiple smelting. Usually we smelt two times, or it can be more than two times depending on the product specific requirements. Second, forging and axial breakdown niobium ingot and then make it into niobium tube bloom by extrusion process manufacturing, then take it for annealing treatment and cleaning. After several times of rolling and annealing, we get the high quality niobium tube. The performance of this kind of technology is uniform, mainly used to produce small specification pipe and capillary materials, applicable to the production of various specifications of products.

Applications of Niobium Pipe, Tube, Tubing
- Used for the heat exchange tube.
- The protect tube of thermometer in petrochemical industry.
- The electronics industry.
- Niobium is used for the production of high-temperature-resistant alloys and special stainless steels.
- Small amounts of niobium impart greater strength to other metals, especially those that are exposed to low temperatures.
- Niobium carbide is used in cutting tools.
- It is used in stainless steel alloys for nuclear reactors, jets, missiles, cutting tools, pipelines, super magnets and welding rods.
- Niobium-tin and niobium-titanium alloys are used as wires for superconducting magnets capable of producing exceedingly strong magnetic fields.
- Niobium is also used its pure form to make superconducting accelerating structures for particle accelerators.
- Niobium alloys are used in surgical implants because they do not react with human tissue.

Prices for Niobium Pipe, Tube, Tubing
Prices for niobium pipe, tube, tubing are directly co related to prices of the raw materials such as iron ore, metal scrap, chromium, nickel and various other alloying elements. The production cost of heat resistant stainless steel and nickel alloy plates is high as they contain high amount of nickel and chromium. Meanwhile, mild steel material is among the lowest cost steel available, followed by carbon steel, 400 series stainless steels, aluminium, alloy steel, and 300 series stainless steel. Special alloys such as titanium, Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy cost very high as the nickel, chromium and moly content is very high.
